CITY NOTES.

Kilroy. three negroes, were before the

ing. The old reliable and never failing
"$1 and costs" was imposed, and they
will work out the same on the streets.

in all branches, to the entire satisfaction
Of his customers. He is now prepered to
extract teeth without pain by tho use of
gas.
The merchants on all sides reported
a'good trade yesterday. A large number
Of people were in town during the day
from the surrounding country, and last
night the streets were thronged with
people, giving the town very lively APP
pearance.
Yesterday was beautiful day, the
air just crisp enough to make all feel
well and glad that they were living.
The only drawback was the dust and
with the delight such n perfect day
brought was mingled the wish that we
might have a good rain.
Moonlight ON the water" is the popu
lar pastime Of the young people these
beautiful evenings, and even the older
ones grow younger as they glide over the
glimmering waters in row and sail boat.
The sly old fellows are guilty Of many
youthful thoughts and sayings while un-
der the mild influence of the gentle
noon.
The Green Coce Spring says that "a
boy child was recently born in Put
nam county, near Clay, who is fortu-
nate in possessing six grandmothers and
seven uncles named William" This is
another evidence of the longevity of the
citizens OF our county. Putnam is a
good county in every respect-people
rarely die, and babies are plentiful. But
the fact that its half dozen grand
mothers are named William is a peculi-
arity worth noting. II must he Bill
los family.
